...::: Connor Prosise ~ 16 - 18 Months :::...

Babies do not want to hear about babies;
they like to be told of giants and castles,
and of somewhat which can stretch
and stimulate their little minds.

- Samuel Johnson

This page contains pictures of Connor from 16 to 18 months old. Summer has come to a close and Connor is ready for some fall fun. Halloween means pumpkins, costumes and the "stuff" the older kids seem to be collecting. Connor dressed as a dragon this year. He must have liked it because the hat actually stayed on. J His cousin Liam, the Red Power Ranger, moved back to California in October. Connor and Liam have been having a great time (mostly) getting reacquainted.

It's been a busy two months for Connor developmentally. Connor finally started walking in early October and is starting to build a vocabulary. He has seven "words": uh-oh, more, hi, bye, bal (ball), boo (book), and bir (bird). He seems to have problems with the last consonants of words, frequently dropping them off.

Raspberries are still his favorites in their fresh and their dried from, but not such a big hit frozen. Blueberries and Bananas are much loved as well. He can eat almost a whole banana at a sitting! He also seems to like vegetables with a definite preference for the green ones: peas and edamame are his preferred veggies.
